Only a few hours after the triple murder on Tuesday evening, the boy was arrested on probable cause suspected of murder.

He was on the run from a foster home and was at his parents' home when the police arrived. The mother describes it as if about 20 armed and masked police officers entered the room where she, her husband, and their five-year-old were watching TV.

It was not at all right for them to act in that way. He had nothing to do with it.

She says that her son has ADHD and can harm himself, but not others.

But the boy's name and picture have already been circulated on social media and threats have been directed at the family.

It has created very big problems for my son. But the truth will always come out, my son is no murderer.

The boy is now placed in a new foster home in another part of the country.
